BFGoodrich g-Force Winter 2: Superior Winter Performance for Passenger Cars
Unmatched Safety on Ice and Snow
Experience enhanced safety and performance with the BFGoodrich g-Force Winter 2 tire, specifically designed for passenger cars navigating winter conditions. This tire boasts a new lamellae arrangement that significantly improves traction and grip on snow-covered roads, ensuring shorter braking distances on icy surfaces. With 40% more tread blocks and 12% more sipes, the g-Force Winter 2 offers an increased negative tread ratio, proudly displaying the 3PMSF* and M+S** symbols for assured winter capability.
Exceptional Wet Grip Performance
Designed with a directional V-shaped tread pattern, the g-Force Winter 2 excels in wet conditions by efficiently channeling water away from the contact patch. The intersecting grooves in the center of the tread, which widen towards the shoulders, enhance water evacuation, minimizing the risk of hydroplaning. The chamfered tread base further contributes to its excellent wet grip performance.
Sleek and Functional Design
The BFGoodrich g-Force Winter 2 features a bold yet simple design, free from unnecessary graphics or elements on the sidewall, allowing the focus to remain on its sophisticated tread design and branding. This tire not only performs exceptionally but also maintains a clean and professional appearance, making it a perfect choice for those who value both aesthetics and functionality.
Make winter your playground
With the new BFGoodrich® g-Force Winter 2 tyre, driving is more of a pleasure even in winter. More grip, better braking response, excellent control on snowy roads, superior road holding on ice. Velvet printing on its sidewalls brings a sophisticated design to express your style and increase tenfold your driving pleasure even in the most extreme conditions.
FUN & SAFE
Safety increased on ice and snow: Its new network of sipes ensures better traction and road holding on snow and guarantees shorter braking distance on icy roads.
Among the top levels of labelling on the market The B rating awarded to this tyre confirms its outstanding safety level for braking on wet roads.
SMART STYLE
Extra style The velvet print sidewalls of this new tyre will make you regret the return to your summer tyres.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
